I currently have a 2006 Mizuno MP60 FliHi 3 hybrid/iron. It's my fairway finder.
Great club, but I'm hoping 2026 technology can give it a run for it's money.
You'd think 20 years of improvements would make a difference.
I did go to a fitter and tried the Mizuno 245 Pro FliHi and it was no better then my MP60. Crazy.
Any club suggestions? No 7-woods.

I use a titleist u505 2i.

I use it on days when it’s either really windy or me and the big dog aren’t getting along. It’s one of my favorite clubs I have.

I’ve got a TM P790 2i that might be my favorite club in the bag. I switch it out with my 3w depending on course and conditions

I have a Srixon ZU85 18 degree 2 iron w an extra stiff shaft

And I have a Srixon ZX 23 degree 4 iron w a stiff shaft

I like them both. 4 iron is very easy to hit. I have to put my big boy pants on to hit that 2 iron. There is no way to swing that one easy.

I have the x stiff in the 2 iron bc I play a lot at Oak Harbor where it's very windy and it's good to be able to keep the ball under the wind.

The 4 iron has a naturally high flight and I can hit high spinny moon balls with it if I want/need to.

I was expecting no one here was with modern FW's and Hybrids. I'm surprised at some of y'all.

TM 2 iron. For short par 4's and great layup iron on par 5's. Also great for punching out of trouble.

Titliest U505 3i loft. I replaced the shaft with one that matches my iron set and had it swing weighted the same. I can only get about 220 out of it, but I it gets me something I can use off the tee on short par 4s and for 2nd shots on Par 5s

I have the same club, got it before I went Ireland. Now it is a valued club on par 5 and fairway finder.

(4) Iron: PXG 0311 XP Gen 3.

Ultra game improvement, but 19 degrees so it's practically a 2 iron. It's money off the tee, but I can't hit it off the deck to save my life. I carry a separate 4 iron for normal play and this one for off the tee.

Same situation for my Srixon 3 iron. It's great off the tee for a 220-240 yard shot under the wind but find my 7 wood is a much more playable club everywhere else.

The amount of idiot 220 yard shots I've tried to hit off the deck with that club is mind blowing.

"this one is going to be different".
